Till netscape 4.51, users were able to install their own *.bdf fonts
and view pages meant for that font.

Is their any provision like that in SeaMonkey now?
The page give www.vikatan.com uses fonts from www.murasu.com/download.html

This font is very popular in Tamil language(of India)

Prev. in NS 4.0+, "view->character set-> user defined" option was used to change
these font encoding for the documents.

Is this feature to be added for SeaMonkey?

UserDefined "x-user-defined" charset converters have been make. It map 0x00-0x7F
to U+0000 to U+007F and 0x80 - 0xFF to U+F780-U+F7FF. Now what we need to do is
let user to associate a font with it and use it to render U+F780-U+F7FF.
However, this does not convert those charset which overload 0x00-0x7F, For
example, we know some indic page do that.
